Professor Adrian Banning has been a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital since 1999. He uses coronary stents to treat patients with angina and heart attack and since 2009 has been implanting new aortic valves (TAVI) from the femoral artery. This technology continues to transform treatment of valvular disease to the extent that day case replacement of a heart valve is “just around the corner”.
